Is there a setting for concurrent connections in avast?
Sure, this is the most configurable antivirus, remember?
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=1647.msg10267#msg10267I get headers from Adelphia's version of Giganews so I should be able to use 10 concurrent connections.
Strange... because the default concurrent connection limit is
20 (for mail & news together).
If you need only 10

If the limit of 20 was exceeded, you would see the line Closing connection due to MaxConnections into aswMaiSv.log file. This limit exists not to save resources, but to prevent connection looping in strange configurations, so the user can increase it without worry to, for instance, 50. The value 0 disables the limit.
